Illuminati Hotties (stylized in all lowercase) are an American indie pop band from Los Angeles, California. They were founded in 2017 as a vehicle for the songwriting of Sarah Tudzin.
History
Sarah Tudzin began her career in music as a recording engineer. In 2018, Tudzin and her band released their debut full-length album, Kiss Yr Frenemies, on Tiny Engines.[2][3][4][5]
In October 2019 Tudzin released a song for download called "ppl plzer," with all proceeds from the track going to the suicide prevention group The Trevor Project.[6]
After it had "leaked" on 3 July 2020 Illuminati Hotties announced a mixtape, Free I.H.: This Is Not The One You’ve Been Waiting For, would be released that month. An interview with Stereogum on 10 July made it clear it was connected to "an exit agreement that allowed Tudzin to buy out her Tiny Engines contract with a cash settlement and a payment of royalties on a future project" and would be released on 17 July.[7]
